Hello colleagues and guests,
Who says there is no such thing as a free lunch? Here is a link that should leave each of us feeling good about ourselves every time we return to our “sceen saved” computers. http://members.ud.com/projects/cancer/index.htm.
My personal and company computers paticipate in this project whenever they are idle. Cancer is one project area, but there are others. All are important.
In short, whenever your computer is idle and on-line, as is the case with DSL, cable connects, etc., it goes to work for humanity by linking in series with thousands of computers all over the world as a computational molecular chemistry problem solver. Each on-line computer adds computational power to the molecular computation at hand. Visit the site mentioned above and see for yourselves what this is all about.
I don’t know for sure, but my guess is that your computer is not any more vulnerable to hackers, viruses, etc, than it would be anyway. I would be interested to hear what the computer gurus think about this. I would also be interested to learn of any other negative impact this might have for participants.
Good day to each and every one.
Wil Haines, CPO
